[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1703280, member: 24284"] .338 Win Mag was the cartridge recommended by the guide. When paying that guide an expensive fee, plane fare, out-of state hunting license, tags for the desired game, these guys opted to follow the guides recommendation. Only a fool would go armed with a .223 or .243 after a big 'brownie". The bears that do get killed with a light caliber cartridge are a fluke, only done out of necessity. Hunt with whatever you want, but myself, I would not venture into big bear country on a guided hunt under gunned. By the way, that .375 that also went to Africa took a Caped Buf. Another animal that is notorious for "biting back". Oh! And while you're at it, it'd wise to check the hunting regulations for the area you're planning on hunting. Lots of places have "minimum" requirements. [/QUOTE]
